“The Bible App represents our continued effort to enable our devoted community of Catholics and Christians around the world immediate access to the sacred scriptures. It is the perfect complement to the Divine Office Catholic Ministry’s suite of prayer apps for Mac computers and mobile devices,” Dane Falkner of Divine Office commented.
